Easy Populate install query

[chrissyboy]

Hi peeps

First time poster, long time reader Haven't needed to post until now due to all the fantastic advice on here

Apologies from the start if I have posted in the wrong group

This is probably a real easy question for one you zen brainiacs out there but I am a little unclear on the "install" instructions that came with Easy Populate in the downloads section.
The following has left me a tad confused:
1) Change the name of the "admin" directory in this package to suit your zen cart installation

Do I install/overwrite the files into my "admin" section of the directory?

Really don't want to undo all the hard work I have put in over the last few months.

Thanks in advance for any help

Change the name of the "admin" directory in this package to suit your zen cart installation

Chrissyboy,

IF you changed the name of your admin folder (a site security recommendation) you will need to change the file name for the Easy Popluate module installation.

If your admin folder is still called admin - you have nothing to worry about!

Hope that helps.

You install files in Easy Populate folder, admin, into your current admin folder.
BACKUP database FIRST, before installing Easy Populate.

I have a question on the installation of easy populate. Everything went fine, except for the part where it tells you to create a new uploads/downloads directory in your admin configuration.

I am not sure which folder that is, it is not clear and I tried to create a directory under admin - extra configs and it didn't work and then I put a folder in the admin folder. What is the correct path for directory?

Is it two separate folders, one for download and one for upload?

I need to know the correct path to create this files in.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks BettyC

It's just one folder in the root directory of your store or use an existing folder. You need to tell EP where the folder is and it's name in admin>>configuration>>Easy Populate.

When I go to admin - there is a file configuration.php and I am sure where I am supposed to be making this change.

I need specifics if anyone can provide that to me.

When I go to Tools easy populate after installation, it gives me this error

Incorrect upload directory configuration.

Before you can use Easy Populate, must must set your uploads directory location in the store admin configuration area.

I need a path such as html_public/admin/..... or etc.
